Maboza Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 Are the young team (W7) not planning a march to the stadium again?? After the success of the trophy day march I would have thought it was a stick on that they'd be going for the same again for flag day!!

shull Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 There will be a Display on Saturday, the whole length of the West Stand. Probably Cards or some sort of material to be held up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Luk, we came first in the second tier comp" How aboot we keep quiet aboot being in the second tier instead of boasting aboot it. Dae the team that get relegated from the SPL get a 'guid try' flag fur at least being in the 'big league'. Oh what a miserable individual that is behind that online personality, miserable indeed. Winning the championship was indeed an achievement and some of the more light hearted Buddies amongst us will rightly wish to celebrate in an appropriate manner. To think where we were almost headed to starting a new season back at the top table of Scottish football is really quite remarkable, remarkable indeed. If the youngsters wish to mark the occasion then bloody guid luck to them. One imagines that almost every supporter of our club will raise at least a smile when that hard fought for flag is unfurled. I can only state how utterly sorry I feel for people who are so devoid of joy in life that they would wish to demean the achievement of winning the right to unfurl that flag. Some people really do revel in sucking joy from wherever it can be found. Well go suck your joy from elsewhere and leave our joy alone you joy sucking ghoul.

oaksoft Posted July 30, 2018 Report Share Posted July 30, 2018 (edited) I am probably alone in thinking this but TBH once an achievement has been reached I almost immediately move onto the next thing. I've never been one for celebrations. It's not a negative thing at all. The pleasure came in the pursuit of the title and not in the final act of winning it. Life is about the journey not the destination for me. Wouldn't want to deprive anyone their right to celebrate the win though. Good luck to you. Would be interesting to know if I am alone in this.

Winning a league or a cup is pretty rare in most players'careers and is an honour. I'm happy for the players to enjoy the achievement while they can and let's face it those guys did well.

Climbing the ladder in your personal life is celebrated by moving standards up in your personal life . Football is a different matter altogether. Flag day is a celebration.

And a lot there who had nothing to do with it, including the coaching staff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A day for us all to enjoy and recall those who helped make this possible but unable to be there... ..absent friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an achievement not worthy of 'flying the flag' about. A flag for winning the SPL or the Scottish Cup is fully justifiable, not for winning part of the wee hurdles on the way. I don't want tae see a 'Championship Winners' flag flying from our stadium as a reminder of the fact that we're were once relegated and managed to gain promotion. Whatever floats your boat. Some awards are totally ridiculous, this is one of those IMHO. Spoken like a true Loser . Your still a Prick !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
